Beskrivning
Norman Maclean’s “A River Runs through It”: The Search for Beauty is the first book-length study of Norman Maclean or any of his works. Since the publication of “A River Runs through It” in 1976, readers and critics have considered it to be one of the most carefully crafted stories in American literature, in terms of both its structure and its style. The beauty of the story came with much hard work. This study traces Maclean’s revisions through four handwritten drafts and three typescripts, quoting extensively from previously unpublished material. The analysis of Maclean’s composition process lays the foundation for original and detailed discussions of other aspects of Maclean’s craft, such as his approach to genre and style. The study publishes for the first time the complete text of the notes that Maclean wrote after the first draft of “A River Runs through It.”

Recensioner i media

" While reading Jensen and Harris, it's fascinating, inspiring, and sometimes downright disorienting to witness the story ["A River Runs through It"] develop from its most primitive state into its most beautiful and refined shape......Jensen and Harris have written a brilliant book that may inspire writers and serious Maclean readers all over the English-speaking world."--Jim Hepworth, The Limberlost Review, 2025 Edition
